Coffee is strong which is exactly what I was after! The muffins were fresh and would recommend. However if you're after a relaxing cafe vibe to chill and have a coffee, I'd say grab it take away and walk up to Riverdale Park as Jet Fuel has more of a bar vibe. I've read a few other posts that say go for the coffee, not the ambience and I'd say they are spot on.

Apart from that, good vibes and good coffee at this cyclist oriented coffee place, one of the most mentioned in Canada. A nice collection of bicycle bells pictures was adorning the walls when we visited

So you need a place to grab a good coffee that does not come in a paper cup and without any signs of cake pops or lukewarm cocoa for the ankle biting Set? The back room is dark and lonely. The front room is neighborly and convivial. There are a few pastries..but you are here for the coffee. Order a four dollar rocket. Place your two toonie's on the counter. And thank God for the best damned coffee shop in the city. Leave a tip too. This place is the best. Music and ancient hi-fi system warms your soul too. It's not just coffee...it's a temple to reality.

I can usually stomach the imperious behavior - but this was the last straw. A few minutes ago the barista rolled her eyes and glared when an Asian customer behind me in line didn't understand her question (English was not his first language). Unacceptable and discriminatory (certainly felt that way). The poor guy looked terrified and hurt. I was mortified and told them so (which they loved, as you can imagine).

$3 for a soy latte, the size of a grande, and nummy!
They've had this price forever. The service is pleasant and quick.
You can sit in or to go. If you are tourist, there are bike ride rental stop right outside of the store.

Come here for the coffee, which is very good, but not the ambience. Scruffy and hot inside with overloud music means relaxing is not the order of the day. Luckily we found a quite cool spot out back which made things better. Remember to shock the staff by asking for extra hot when ordering a latte, unless you like it luke warm.

Located in the heart of Cabbagetown, this cafe emporium serves up good coffee and espresso based drinks in a no nonsense manner. The atmosphere conveys an urban punk attitude, with a range of music styles filling the space. The barristas, even those with shaved heads, know their stuff, and the brew is excellent.
You will find a wide array of clientele, ranging from grunge poets to neighbourhood intelligentsia solving the world's problems.
Jet fuel can become as addictive as their coffee. Prices are good, too.

No menu, no drop coffee. Only the best coffee in Toronto.
Takes a while to get used to the rough exterior of the server - but with time they will become your friends and did I mention the best coffee in Toronto? It really is!!!

The people are super nice, the coffee and teas (try fresh ginger lemon - was amazing when i was on a juice cleanse) are absolutely amazing and inexpensive, atmosphere is cool and trendy. Honestly, all around amazing spot in the city. Definitely my favourite coffee shop!!! Love coming here anytime im in the neighbourhood.

This extensively reviewed cafe is a great option. I'm not sure why the other reviewers found it to be off-putting or snooty. I found the staff to be very friendly and accommodating, the coffees to be excellent, and the atmosphere to be congenial.
